However, the difference between repair and maintenance work is that repairs aim to restore functionality while maintenance looks to preserve functionality. Put simply, repairs are done after downtime to minimize losses, while maintenance is done to prevent unexpected asset downtime.

Computer maintenance means keeping your computers and laptops in good condition through regular cleanings, hard drive updates, and virus prevention. Doing so can lengthen the lifespan of your devices and it can also help you browse the web more safely.

Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the hardware over time, causing overheating, corrosion, and malfunction. Cleaning and dusting the hardware regularly can prevent these issues and extend the lifespan of the devices.

Hardware repair Technicians also work with and occasionally repair a range of peripherals, including input devices (like keyboards, mice, webcams and scanners), output devices (like displays, printers, and speakers), and data storage devices such as internal and external hard drives and disk arrays.
